Maria Popova from the blog Brain Pickings calls it the reinvention of the secular sermon. The title is taken from the final exhortation of David Foster Wallace's speech to Kenyon College, included within, that is often referred to as “This is Water” That, along with the beautiful design of the book, is worth the price of admission. I'm just sad it doesn't have my second favourite commencement address. It's George Saunders address to Syracuse University in 2013 on the power of kindness.
